Message from the WIE Chair

It is indeed a great pleasure and honor for me to serve as Chair, IEEE WIE Islamabad Section. I have become passionate and enthusiastic about the progress and visibility of WIE Islamabad Section in IEEE. Past chairs have done a remarkable job in establishing it. I believe in working together to make a change in increasing visibility and in recognizing women engineers and scientists, and for this we need frequent communication as well as strong collaboration with other WIE Sections of Pakistan and WIE Global. It will definitely promote WIE workshops and panel discussion sessions at conferences of various technical societies. I also want to collaborate with Young Professionals and with students, as this generation has more potential than ours. Moreover, I want to build a strong partnership between academia and industry as it is becoming the need of time.

I would like to invite you all to join me on our important goals to increase membership of women engineers and scientists in IEEE, and the strength that comes from working together as a community makes me believe that we can make a change. I am looking forward to working with you all and to serving IEEE WIE Islamabad Section with full commitment and dedication.
